Katana Question

[lordtariel]

The Katana can't cut through anything. There was an episode of myth busters where they tried to get one to cut through a gun barrel. Everytime they tried not cut.

I saw one recently on myth busters where they were trying to see if a katana could cut through another sword. They had a swordsman and a machine that would swing the sword correctly with maximum force and it couldn't even break a rapier. Bent it all to heck, but didn't break it.(the recoil from the snap shattered the rapier though) The closest they were able to come to breaking a sword is when they used a two handed Scottish claymore vs a viking broadsword where it put a big old gouge in the viking broadsword.
